What size motor does the GTR come with?Updated 3 days ago

The motor size on the GTR depends on which series you have:

🔌 GTR Series 1

  • Equipped with 2 x 1500W motors (each)

  • Uses a motor controller specifically tuned for 1500W motors

⚡ GTR Series 2

  • Equipped with 2 x 3000W motors (each)

  • Delivers more torque and improved hill-climbing

  • Uses a different motor controller designed for higher output


❗ Important compatibility notes

  • GTR Series 1 cannot run 3000W motors

  • GTR Series 2 cannot run 1500W motors

The motors and motor controllers are matched as a system. Swapping motor sizes between Series 1 and Series 2 is not supported and will result in improper operation.


⚙️ What about gears?

Both GTR Series 1 and Series 2 support the same range of gearing options, regardless of motor size:

  • 32T

  • 38T

  • 47T (when available)

  • 66T

There is no specific motor required for a specific gear. Gear choice affects ride characteristics like speed, torque, and acceleration, but does not determine motor compatibility.


✅ Key takeaway

  • Series 1 = 1500W motors only

  • Series 2 = 3000W motors only

  • Gear choice is flexible across both series
